Names Of the Different Glasses of Bonds.

The Lynchburg Virgiaian gives the fol-
lowing definition of the different classes Of
State securities in the order of their dates
of ISSUE
''Old Unfunded'' -bonds issued prior to
April II, 1861.
s1S66-67 bonds'-issued under act of
March 2, 1866; funding war interest.
"Consols" issued under act of
March 30, 1871, commonly known as the
original funding bill, and under which the
whole debt was stconsolidated."
"Pealer or Peeler''-bonds issued under
act Of March 7. 1872, which repealed the
funding bill of 1871, and the ax-receivable
contract was peeled from the coupons.
"Ten-forty bonds''-issued under act of
March %, 1879, commonly known as the
McCulloch act, called ten-forties because
the bonds run for 40 years, divided into four
periods of 10 years each, bearing 8 per
cent. interest for the first period, per cent.
for the second and third and per cent for
the last period.
Besides the above are what are known as
"Sterling bonds" which were issued prior
to the war, and also under the McCulloch
act for the convenience of the English
creditors of the State. All of these bonds
are rated at S. to the pound sterling, and
all of them which were issued prior to the
war bore only 8 per cent. interest.
"Black Scrip" is a certificate of deferred
interest. In 1872, '73 and ia, the State
paid per cent interest on the 1st of jan
uary and June of each year and gave GER
tifcate for the remaining per cent. This
was printed wholly in black ink; hence
called s'black scrip"
These definitions are as complete and
succinct as we can make them, and if our
readers and newspaper exchanges will paste
tits article in their scrap books, they need
never be- al a loss to understand the inan-
cial nomenclature Of the State, SO far as ii
relates to the public debt.

unanimity for any that may be adopted Is
not expected, but in determining to con-

Tn this contest there should be no lndlf-

his choice in selecting the candidates, put

pose to make the majority for the ticket

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

SIX PASSENGER COACHES AND A LoCoNo-
TIVE SMASHED.
The st. Louis, Chicago and Cincinnati
express, of the Baltimore and Ohio Kali
road Company, due from the West at
Washington city at $40 O'Clock last Wed
nesday morning, was completely wrecked
on the North branch of the "Y," about
mile distant from the company's depot.
The engineer was fatally injured, and died
within two hours after the accident. The
fireman was seriously hurt, as was also a
messenger in signal tower. Both are in
a critical condition. Three passengers were
seriously wounded, and seventeen were
slightly hurt. The train consisted OF To-
connective 500. two baggage cars, one mail
car, one freight car, two sleepers and two
coaches. Flfty-five passengers were on
board at the time. The casualty resulted
from the failure of the air-break to work as
the train was descending the grade into
Washington, and it jumped the track just
as it entered the beginning of the "Y.'
The financial loss is estimated at sou, O0D.
s. Hamilton Brosius, the engineer, aged
45 years, unmarried, and living at 619 West
Barre street, Baltimore, died in two hours
after receiving his injuries. He was scalded

AUNToN SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
Mahone-Virginia.

Some ten days or two weeks ago Gen'l
Malone called together his executive COM
mittee-that is about ten or twelve of
of his peculiar and re-
naming friends. The Lewises and Bradys
&C., the real representatives of what people
he represents, were conspicuously absent.
Indeed, no one was present but Gen. Ma
homes henchmen. such as Mr.. John S.
Wise, with his "Master, lead on, I'll fol-
low,' and the like. Nobody as yet knows
what was transacted in that midnight con-
clave. What a contrast between Malone,
absolutely dominating the leavings of his
party through call meeting OF his State
committee (appointed two or three years
ago commissions expired present about
one third; perhaps the thirds not noti-
fed, and Barbour handing in his commits
sion at Roanoke convention unsurpassed
for it's representative qualities. People are
asking themselves, "Will respectable re-
publicans submit in quiet to this last crown
ing outrage of Malone? We will have to
wait and see. But one thing is certain
viz: Malone, whether the Republicans
will or not, is to be the sole issue in the
coming campaign. This Malone has all
along been determined on, having the Or
gauization of the party in his hands. Sta
ted succinctly, the plain and sole issue is
this If the democrats succeed in electing
majority Of the next Legislature, some
good democrat will be elected to the United
States Senate in the place of spoor Riddle
berger. If the Republicans or Mahonites
succeed in the Herculean task of electing a
majority of the coming Legislature, Ma
hone and nobody else will take the vacant
place of his discarded henchman in that
august body. Choose, ye Virginians, be-
tween these two pictures.-Chortottesuille
